Giving Back

The Lopen parish (shared across the Merriott Benefice), feel our care doesn't stop at our own parish boundary. Each year, thanks to the generosity of our congregations and communities, we're able to support a number of charities doing vital work — some close to home, others reaching much further afield.

From supporting people facing food poverty, to lifesaving emergency care, to research into conditions like dementia, the causes we support reflect the wide range of needs in our community and beyond. Every donation, fundraiser, and coffee morning contributes to making a real difference to the people these charities serve.

Below you'll find the charities we're proud to have supported — take a look, and thank you and all our volunteers for being part of making it possible.

If you'd like to suggest a charity for us to consider supporting in future, or get involved in fundraising for any of the causes below, please do get in touch — we'd love to hear from you.  Please contact Bob or Julia.
